A Public Space
-- Motto of
Plato's Academy
Background from
Log24 on Feb. 15, 2006:
If
we replace the Chinese word "I" (change, transformation) with the word

call "the Logos") to the I Ching ("Changes Classic") beomes apparent.

"We should let ourselves be guided by what is common to all. Yet
although the Logos is common to all, most men live as if each
had a private intelligence of his own."
-- Heraclitus of Ephesus, about 500 B.C.
